Rick Adelman says he never got a phone call from Les Alexander

[kalmykdude]

U could trade gasol and nene and add some more and wouldn't get Howard for that. There both older and past their primes. Huh?

[kalmykdude]

I wouldn't trade Lowery for deron. Lowery brings the same thing except he is a tougher physical defender who has heart. What r u talking bout nene and getting Howard? Who wants nene? Definitely not me! And ur saying we would have gotten Howard for nene? Are u joking? Please explain because I don't know how u came up with that?

[Deadshot089]

@kalmykdude That gasol trade could've easily got them a chance to get Nene and trade one of them for Dwight howard and trade Lowry for Deron Williams. You need to think before posting stuff like this.

[simsdale]

rockets shouldve kept adelman

[kalmykdude]

Oh, one more thing. Thank god that the gasol trade was nixed. That was so bad. We were gonna give the world away for an old center that's past his prime. Yao used to embarrass gasol. I didn't understand it. Take that same trade and get a draft pick or a young player that u can build on not what the lakers wanted to part with!

[hengooink]

@kalmykdude i completely agree

[kalmykdude]

Half court basketball wins championships! Ask McHale, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem, Duncan. Everything slows down in the playoffs(real season). No fast breaking, gimmicks, tricks. The half court team that is the most physical on defense and set plays on offense will usually win.

[kalmykdude]

Yao was injured after 10-11 games into the win streak.

[ssyssou]

Haha maybe it was another Rick:-)

[rocketsfan08]

I really miss rick.

[alwayzAngry]

he looks like louis ck

[xin277]

fair enough. he said he turned down the offer the rockets made him. adelman was a good coach but it was time to move on. mchale is doing pretty good right now too so i dont see any hard feelings on adelman or the rockets.

[rockets713htx]

who cares? time to move on

[kalmykdude]

Thank god he's gone. His retarded system only worked in sacramento for a few years with those players. He had the best post player in the game and ran that Shitty motion offense. When's the last time u seen a championship team run a motion offense. Reminds me of the warriors and nuggets back in the day with doug moe.

[weipeng1]

22 straight wins without star players... that's just unbelievable. one or two years later, i'm expecting the young t-wolves grow big. good luck coach

[andyofzz]

@weipeng1 without star players?? whos Tmac and yao ?

[stevechen1991]

@andyofzz yao was injured during that whole 22 game winning streak

[andyofzz]

@stevechen1991 he played the 1st 12 games

[NWsideHtownBaller]

@stevechen1991...Yao Ming got injuried about halfway through the 22 game winning streak, so look up facts before you throw false information around!!! Any article you will find will say Yao Ming got injuried, but the Houston Rockets still stretched the winning streak to 22 games...hmmm keyword "stretched."

[neirad537]

@stevechen1991 Yo was injured for the last 11 games I think not the whole wining streak

[weipeng1]

coach adelman is a great coach. he products beautiful offensive system even without star players. now he is coaching love, beasley and rubio... t-wolves are turning into a new force

[IamHaddy]

We are retarded for letting him go

[sydandtaytum]

people that blame him for rockets' shortcomings are just haters. basically, he's made a subpar team (during yao/mcgrady injuries and then after the yao/mcgrady era) into a solidly .500 team season after season. chuck hayes, aaron brooks, kyle lowry- all blossomed into respectable starting players under his coaching.

[tdubbcdman]

@sydandtaytum i don't think there are many people blaming rick for anything. he's one of the best coaches in the league period, most know that.

[sydandtaytum]

@tdubbcdman really? i've always loved him because of his time in sacramento, but i've read so many comments complaining about him last season.

[BeastlyBowen]

dang...I miss Adelman.
